NJ Landscape Project Training and Information Sessions

The Landscape Project is an interactive ecosystem-based mapping tool that assists government agencies, planners, conservation groups, the public and others in making decisions that will protect imperiled and special concern wildlife.

The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife's Endangered and Nongame Species

► include more detailed species information, such as type of occurrence and last year of occurrence

► the most recent Land Use/Land Cover data from 2007
